Frequently Asked Questions.
- 01
nōmi isn’t just about finding someone, it’s about understanding yourself first. Our proprietary algorithm helps you uncover your own energetic blueprint — your natural tendencies, emotional patterns, and relational strengths — so you can show up more intentionally in love and in life.
We move beyond endless swiping and surface-level attraction. nōmi curates matches based on energetic compatibility, guiding you towards people who truly align with your values and help you grow.
And maybe the biggest difference? nōmi is built by people who care. We’re a small team guided by integrity, empathy, and a deep belief in doing what’s right — for people, for communities, and for the planet.
- 02
At the heart of nōmi lies the ancient Indian principle ‘ यत् पिण्डे तत् ब्रह्माण्डे ’— as is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm. It’s the belief that we are reflections of nature itself, and that the rhythms of the universe shape the energies within us.
Rooted in ancient Indian compatibility wisdom, yet decolonized and reframed through modern relational science, nōmi’s proprietary algorithm bridges timeless philosophy with contemporary psychology.
We’ve removed the layers of colonial distortion — binary assumptions, rigid roles, and gender biases — to reveal the system in its true essence; one that is inclusive, intuitive, and rooted in energetic alignment, not surface-level traits.
- 03
Yes, deeply. nōmi is inclusive of all gender identities, orientations, and relationship types.
In fact, the ancient knowledge that our algorithm is rooted in recognizes and respects fluidity beyond the binary. In pre-colonial India, diverse expressions of gender and love were not just accepted, they were embedded in stories, deities, and everyday life.
Colonization erased much of that openness, but we’re bringing the spirit of that inclusivity back. Our algorithm avoids rigid roles and instead focuses on energetic alignment, emotional resonance, and relational dynamics — things that transcend gender boxes.
Because love isn’t one-size-fits-all. And neither are you.
- 04
Because that information helps us create your birth chart, a unique map of where the planets were positioned at the exact moment and place you were born.
We ask because you are nature — and just like the moon influences ocean tides, the movement of planets affects energy on Earth, including ours. You may not see it, just like you don't see gravity, but that doesn’t make it any less real.
This isn’t a new idea, many Indigenous cultures and ancient traditions around the world have long recognized our deep connection to the cosmos.
- 05
No system can guarantee a perfect outcome, but alignment helps you start with clarity. nōmi’s compatibility insights show where energy naturally flows and where there’s room to grow, helping you better understand someone’s temperament, emotional rhythm, and relational needs.
As one of our co-founders puts it, we give you the best ingredients to create a great dish — but how you cook it, season it, and make it your own is entirely up to you. Even the finest ingredients can fall flat in the wrong hands, while care and intention can turn something simple into something extraordinary.
We help you find the right starting point — the rest is about mutual effort, communication, and growth.
- 06
nōmi is rooted in Vedic knowledge, an ancient system that maps the sky as it truly is. This system calculates planetary positions dynamically, based on the actual constellations overhead during a person’s time of birth — unlike Western astrology, which is static and aligns with the seasons.
So, your moon sign might look different here, but it’s not a mistake — it’s a more accurate reflection of where the moon actually was when you were born. This deeper, more grounded approach offers clearer insight into your inner world, emotions, and relationship patterns, helping you understand not just who you are, but how you connect.

AI tools are powerful, but they require massive computing resources and energy. Until we can implement it responsibly, we’re sticking to conscious design choices that keep your experience meaningful, not excessive.
